Answer:

0.2709

Explanation:

Given that 1 earthquake occurs in 3 months

∴Number of earthquake that will occur in 1 month = 1 / 3

∴ The waiting time of the earthquake to occur can be shown as

X\sim exp(\frac{1}{3})

And since it is a poisson distribution as mentioned, the waiting time is always exponential.

Now the probability of the next earthquake that will occur after three but before seven months is

P(3

                     = e^{-\frac{3}{3}}-e^{-\frac{7}{3}}

                     = 0.2709

∴ The probability of ht waiting time is 0.2709

anorthosite represents the oldest rock type found on the moon and is unique because it is primarily composed of a single mineral
mixas84 [53]

Anorthosites, almost entirely made of plagioclase feldspar, are the Moon's earliest rocks. They appear to have developed when feldspar crystallised and floated to the top of the Moon's early magma ocean.

Anorthosite is an intrusive igneous rock made primarily of calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar. All anorthosites found on Earth are coarse crystals, but some Moon samples are finely crystalline. It is almost entirely composed of plagioclase feldspar, a standard, light-weight, light-coloured mineral on Earth. It is an igneous rock that cools and solidifies from hot melting material. This mineral floated to the surface and created anorthosite. Anorthosite is a significant rock type on the Moon's surface, accounting for most of the highlands and crust. This sample, recovered by Apollo 16 astronauts, has been proven to be 4.19 billion years old.

How was Marchionne’s account similar to that of Boccaccio’s?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Explanation:

Marchionne's is a politician in 1370's he gave an account of an incidence that happened in florence. Ot waa an outbreak of disease that took virtually everyone in a particular house hold lives. If an individual is struck with a disease any one who cared for such person will also contract the disease and the death is within four days. He gave the account of this terrible happening when Bocaccio's also gave the same report of the event of the

Disease incidence in florence after some time,which gives more evidence to Marchionne's report.

Briefly explain the latitudinal distribution of solar energy over the planet.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • The climate of a place is impacted by certain things like altitude, latitude and weather patterns, angle of incidence of the sun and time of the day. The earth is divided into three main zones of torrid, tropic and temperate zone.
  • These zones are directly impacted by the weather patterns developed by the unequal heating and cooling of land and water mass by the sun, like places near the equator get the maximum amount of solvation energy in the form 90 degree waves.
  • Place around the poles that are at an angle of 66.5 North and south get inclined rays and thus obscura rays don't last for long on this latitude and hence have 5-6 hours of sunshine. Thus equator has low pressure and poles have high pressure.
